Press Release Summary = In an attempt to save his business, Brent Graham created the
Dare Me For Dollars contest. In order to enter, users submit dares and the top dare
wins a cash prize. Brent then has to perform the dare and broadcast the video to the
world.

Press Release Body = Youngstown, OH March 20, 2007- In a move that's bound to draw
national attention, Youngstown businessman Brent Graham has created a gutsy new
contest in hopes of saving his business and home. The Dare Me For Dollars Contest is
open to U.S. residents, who get to submit a dare for a chance to win a cash prize
and see Brent perform the dare.

It's easy to enter. Go to the website www.daremefordollars.com to submit a dare.
Everyone gets to vote and rate the entered dares and the highest scoring dare wins.

When asking Brent why he went to extremes with this contest, he replied, "I have a
business that I'm trying to bail out. I put everything I had into the business
including my home equity. Delays and set-backs have wiped out everything and now I'm
out of time."

In a bit of marketing genius, Brent has set up the contest so that each entry can be
sponsored. The front page lists the top ten dares and the sponsor. The winning dare
will get their sponsors logo and name shown in the winning dare video. "The idea is
to raise money and provide entertainment," says Brent, "and I don't plan to
disappoint. I have nothing else to lose."

There is a twist to the contest. Brent has to perform the winning dare and videotape
it to show the world, but if that dare is something even he won't do, the prize
money increases 50%. He will then double dog dare the winner for a chance to double
their winnings by performing their own dare and posting the video.

With entries such as "I dare you to sneak into a wedding and object saying you are
in love with the bride" or "I dare you to start singing and dancing to the disco
song 'Staying Alive' at a funeral," what are the chances of Brent failing to perform
the dare? According to his sister, Melissa Graham, "My brother's a nut, he reminds
me of Ellen DeGeneres, if she were on crack. There isn't much I can think of that he
won't do."

To find out more information on the contest and to see the introductory video, go to
www.daremefordollars.com. The video is also posted on popular video services like
YouTube, Yahoo and Myspace video. Entry deadline is May 15th 2007 with voting
ending on June 15th.
